Ista is heating up swiftly, and preparing for a rough summer - hopefully nothing like the one from a couple turns before with the wildfires! The rest of Northern Pern is warming upsomewhat slower, but with no less gusto as summer begins to creep into the sky, keeping the sun awake longer, warming the ledges of the weyrs. Rainstorms are sporadic, but keep the world well watered, despite the heat of the days.
The Red Star can be seen by those who choose to see it, causing no shortage of whispers that Thread will return - and just as much dismissal from those who do not believe. After all, it's been so long, surely it is no longer a threat! Weyrleaders are, regardless, beginning to put together wings in their Weyrs, if only to keep troublesome and bored riders busy.
Winter -3 - 2 C | 26 - 35 F
Fort is already home to snowfalls, though early in the month they fade away when the sun rises. As the month progresses, more snow stays on the ground, ending up with several feet of snow before the month is over. The areas around homes and populations has the snow shoveled away or trodden down. Icicles attached to Weyr ledges prove some danger and are routinely removed.
Ista Boundaries:
Winter, 9 - 21 C | 48 - 69 F
Generally warm enough to go about without a jacket on, Ista has low humidity but high chance of rain, generally in the form of vicious afternoon thunderstorms. The storms wash away any bite of heat the day had, and leave it feeling fresh for the night. The days are short, but grow bright quickly and the afternoons seem to be particularly short when heavy thunderstorms roll in and cover the sky.
Telgar Boundaries:
Winter, -5 - 0 C | 23 - 32 F
Bitterly cold, with icy winds constantly flowing down from the mountains. Freezing rain is almost constant; the sky always a murky grey and the ground slippery with slushy refrozen ice. The days are extremely short, with the nights dropping a good number below the daily average. Icicles attached to Weyr ledges prove a major danger, and are checked upon every day, with anything bigger than a fist being removed.
Summer 27 - 38 C | 80 - 100 F
Light breezes down from the mountains tot he North keep the temperature comfortable, even when the sun can bake an egg on the edge of a weyr. Sunburn is common.
Ista Boundaries:
Summer, 34 - 43 C | 93 - 110 F
A very dry, dusty heat. Little to no rain, causing more than some to worry about the drought not breaking and the rest of the Isle being at risk of fires. Many seek the depths of weyr, hold or hall during the midday and early afternoon heat.
Telgar Boundaries:
Summer, 26 - 35 C | 79 - 95 F
Muggy, sticky and generally just plain humid. Thunder storms are regular occurances, often happening in the early afternoon or evening, with heavy rainfall before drying off sometime in the night. Mornings are usually crisp, but warm up swiftly.
Ista Boundaries: Season, Low to High

North: Early Spring | South: Early Autumn
−1.9 C to 4.7 C | 20.0 C to 29.0
Spring has sprung, with the snow slowly melting in much of the North, creating mushy grounds and greyish, icy snow piles that are doing their best to melt. In comparison, Ista finds itself naturally warmer, (~10C / 50) and many people who can find rides are making their way to the Island to spend some time in warmth and sunshine, away from the lingering touch of winter.
Katila is beginning to cool down to more reasonable temperature, but is no less muggy and uncomfortable to those who are not used to the seasons. It is still a good place to escape to when seeking a warm day or a nice swim at the lake, though.
The Red Star can be seen by those who choose to see it, causing no shortage of whispers that Thread will return - and just as much dismissal from those who do not believe. After all, it's been so long, surely it is no longer a threat! Weyrleaders are, regardless, beginning to put together wings in their Weyrs, if only to keep troublesome and bored riders busy.

Winter has come slowly to the Northern lands of Pern, with more rain and cold winds than snow. As the month progresses, more and more snow will fall, with frequent blizzard-like storms towards the very end of the month. Telgar and Fort will in particular become burried under mountains of snow, while Ista is sunjected to frequent icy rainstorms, and heavy winds coming in from across the ocean.

Following the disastrous fires (sometime in around the 28th of Month 08), Ista Isle has found itself suddenly in the midst of constant rain; not enough to flood, but a steady, dreary downfall that seems to only take a time out for a couple of hours here and there, before coming back again. Its cast the entire sooty Isle into a sombre and depressed mood. Alongside the rain, the weather is muggy and while not hot, is not particularly cool, either.
The rest of Northern Pern is getting their usual weather, though they, too, have been called to action following the wildfires that savaged Ista. Many individuals who called Ista Island home have been relocated not just to Ista Weyr, Ista Hold or Sea Cliff Hold, but also to other areas of Pern, whether with family or friends.

Ista is still unseasonably warm - 37 to 45 C - has resulted in an incredibly dry summer, with little to no rain. This was climaxed by a dry thunderstorm, the results of which caused three fires to start across the Island on the 24.07.739 in the early morning hours. While the results of this are yet to be played out, the events will no doubt leave more than just the scarring of the land.

Ista is still unseasonably warm, with average weather being in the 37 to 45 C range, making it now a more than slightly undesirable escape for the rest of the Northern population from the more enjoyable early summer weather. There has been very little in the way of rain, though the coastal areas are no stranger to the salty wind. Ista's limited farmlands and fields are dry and dusty, with golden straw instead of grass where there is any growth at all.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Northern areas are still getting a lot of evening rain and the occasional thunderstorms, which cools down the populus and allows them to sleep easily without sweating their brains out like the Istans.

North: Late Autumn | South: Late Spring
Autumn is coming to an end, with the days slowly becoming shorter still, with early nights and late mornings. The temperature is getting very cool, with jackets being more required, but it has yet to actually snow. Despite this, it is often raining and miserable.
The Southern contient is in full bloom, with flowers coming to life in the grasses and on the trees. The skies are bright blue with fluffy clouds, and occassional sunshowers bringing a dampness to the day. The nights are still crisp, but not cold. The ground is starting to dry up as water is absorbed by the blooming flora.
North: Mid Autumn | South: Mid Spring
Autumn is in full tilt, with the leaves a shocking array of orange and red, and more of them on the ground than on the trees. The skies are often a clear and crisp blue, with a cool breeze flowing, shifting the leaves and sending them scattering. Rain is not common, but when it does roll in the skies are dark like night come early, and thunderstorms are not uncommon, though they don't last for long and the amount of rain that falls isn't too heavy.

North: Start Autumn | South: Start Spring
Nothern regions are entering into Autumn, with the trees beginning to change to their reds and oranges, while the air is beginning to feel more crips. There are still more warm days than cool, and the nights are mostly warm enough for light bedding still. Rain has faded away and most days are clear and bright.
The Southern contient finds itself heading into spring, with rain and flowers vying for attention. The ground is often muddy and squishy, while the skies are either bright and blue, or overcast wtih fluffy clouds.
North: End Summer | South: End Winter
Summer is winding to an end in the Northern hemisphere, with the weather slowly cooling and the trees beginning to turn their leaves. The days are still long and bright, but the sun is beginning to lose some of its strength.
The coastal Weyrs are falling victim to coastal storms, strong winds and heavy rains with thunder and lightening.
The more inbound Weyrs and Holds find themselves drier, not getting nearly as much rain or storms, they find themselves on the end of a long drought.
North: Mid Summer | South: Mid Winter
Summer is in full spring in the Nothern hemisphere, with the bulk of each day being unbearbly hot, followed by vicious thunderstorms and heavy humidity in the evenings and at night.
The coastal areas are experiencing monsoon like weather, and spend a lot of their time locked away in Hold, Hall or Weyr.
The more inner locations find themselves faced with more dry heat during the day, and horrible humidity in the evening and at night while the thunderstorms rage.

Appearance
Eye Colour:
Blue-grey
Height:
5'10"
Hair Colour:

Build:
General Description:
He has a thin, sharp face with an equally thin nose and high cheekbones. Aging lines have started appearing more prominently on his face.Verec is generally thin, continuing the sharp look from his face. He is not overly muscular, as he has little reason to be and especially nowadays spends more time solving problems with his head than being active with his body.
General Dressing Style:
Verec has two rules for clothes: they must be practical and they must be clean. Anything else - stylish, fun, super comfortable, etc - are bonus and not something to consider when choosing an outfit.
Gideon Emery
Personality
Likes:
His Students: Verec is passionate about helping other Healers succeed. He often takes time to teach classes, though he's had less time for that since becoming Masterhealer. He has little patience for those who aren't trying their best, but as long as someone is putting in genuine effort to learn Verec is determined to help them be the best Healer they can be.
Botany: It was never his focus, but Verec enjoyed learning different herbs and plants and their properties and uses. If he needs a safe place to just think, he will often go to the herb storage rooms. He also grows plenty of plants and herbs in his office.
Anything with Caffeine: When you're a workaholic, caffeine is great.

Anything with Caffeine: When you're a workaholic, caffeine is great.
Strengths:
Coolheaded: Verec keeps a cool head under stress and in urgent circumstances. His great strength is remaining calm and making rational choices when someone's life is on the line.
Indefatigable: Once he's set his mind to doing something, he will accomplish it. He was tireless as a student, striving to be the best in his age group. As a master, he shows the same tenacity with solving problems and promoting the needs of the Healer Hall.
Intuitive: There is a reason for all the things Healers do and are taught, but not all situations have been encountered before. Verec is usually able to evaluate an unknown situation and successfully navigate it using knowledge, logic, and instinct.

Dislikes:
Patients Who Act Like they Know Things: Honestly, who here spent over 20 turns mastering Healing? Not you, so shut up and do what I tell you.
Not Cleaning Tools: Anyone who doesn't properly clean Healing supplies or areas ends up receiving his intense displeasure. Keep things sterile, you imbeciles!
Being Ill: Verec knows how to take care of himself when he's sick, but it's so terribly inconvenient to keep himself from work and he will push the bounds of taking care of himself as far as he can without endangering someone else's health. For example, he may do paperwork long into the night instead of resting but will never go near someone with a compromised immune system when he's sick.

Flaws:
Temper: The coolheadedness Verec shows in emergencies is for fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, not anger. It is very easy to get him riled up and snapping at someone.
Demanding: He expects a lot of people, and doesn't like when what he asks for isn't delivered.
Proud: Even when Verec knows or realizes he's in the wrong or someone has a better idea, he has a very hard time admitting it.

Proud: Even when Verec knows or realizes he's in the wrong or someone has a better idea, he has a very hard time admitting it.
Habits & Mannerisms:
He will recite steps for various medical procedures to focus, usually when angry to keep himself from getting into arguments too often. Usually done in his head, will sometimes be spoken aloud. May also go through lists of plants and their possible medical uses.General Personality:
Verec cares about nothing more than Healing. His daughter is maybe a close second. Maybe. He especially loves teaching young Healers, seeing their determination to succeed and helping them reach that potential.His temper is a bit legendary, and having Verec yell at you or give an 'I am disappointed in you' speech is a rite of passage for young Healers. He will lay out how everything that went wrong is your fault while simultaneously blaming the entire situation on himself.

List of Reasons Verec is Not A Fan of Dragonriders:
- Stealing Healers with not even a word (honestly, Quennell would have given them help if they'd asked that didn't involve destroying the careers of promising Healers)
- Leaving so many people high and dry when they fled, namely Ilaera (she was weyrbred, she knew nothing about living as a holder, and she and many other former weyrfolk ended up in dire straits because of it)
- Causing his former mentor to become obsessed with their Plague (the man was a great Healer and some mystery plague kept him from focusing on real and present problems, and arguing about it led their relationship to deteriorate)
- Quennell retired essentially because of them, again 'ruining' a great Healer
- They're so sharding self righteous about everything
- They just took another of his Journeymen???

Important History:
691 AL & Birth: Born the fourth child of Darell and Ciera.695-699 AL & 4-7 Turns: Had a nice childhood running around on the livestock farm with his siblings.
700 AL & 8 Turns: Helped out his mother while she was pregnant with his younger sister, and helped her care for the baby for the first few months as well, completely fascinated by his baby sister.
702 AL & 10 Turns: While playing in one of the fields, his older brother breaks a limb badly and loses a lot of blood. Verec is sent to get help, but they do not arrive in time and the brother dies. Verec never wants something like that to happen again, and becomes determined to learn how to save people injured like his brother.
703 AL & 11 Turns: It takes some time, but Verec convinces his father to allow him to go to the Healer Hall. They immediately start saving up for their son to go.
705 AL & 13 Turns: After the long trip from Far Cry Hold to Fort hold, Verec starts his apprenticeship as a Healer.
706 AL & 14 Turns: Verec is a diligent student, and all his teachers commend his dedication. He does, however, spend more time with books and classes than with his fellow apprentices and he doesn't easily make friends.
708 AL & 16 Turns: His memory for detail results in Verec often getting assigned to inventory supplies or collect herbs.
710 & 18 Turns: Verec gains a mentor as a Senior Apprentice, with a middle-aged Healer who worked with diseases. The Healer wanted Verec as an assistant due to his attention to detail, which he felt was useful in tracking symptoms and patient histories.
712 AL & 21 Turns: Graduates to Journeyman.
714 & 23 Turns: Verec is assigned as a Healer of a minor hold, under a senior Journeyman there, to give him practical experience. Here Verec's ability to stay calm in a crisis comes into full bloom, and when he periodically returns to Fort to report on his progress, he starts receiving more specialized training.
716 AL & 25 Turns: While traveling between Fort and the minor hold he was assigned to as Healer, Verec meets a woman named Ilaera who is looking for a job. She's a former resident of one of the Weyrs, left behind in the Plague, and at a loss about what to do with her life. Verec helps get her a position in the Healer Hall, as a maid, and later as a nurse. He gets the details of the Plague from his former mentor, who as a disease expert, was consulted by the Weyrs before they all emptied. Verec thinks it's a tragedy, but does not approve of his mentor's obsession with it; the dragons are gone, there's nothing more for him to do and there are living people for him to focus on.
718 AL & 27 Turns: Verec gets tired of the constant questions about why he's not married yet. He proposes to Ilaera, an arrangement of convenience for both of them (she's 29 and in the holds that draws all sorts of questions). They are not in love, but they are friends and can coexist peacefully so it works for them. She starts traveling with him on his assignments, finding traveling enjoyable and it gives her a break from work.
720 AL & 29 Turns: Both Verec and Ilaera are surprised by how well marriage works for them. It gives them both someone safe to confide in and provide support, something they're both a bit too proud to ask for of other people.
723 AL & 32 Turns: Their first (and only) child is born, a daughter named Vaera. After Vaera's birth, Verec is perfectly happy to come up with a medical reason Ilaera should not have more children. No one bothers them about the issue again.
724 AL & 33 Turns: Verec gains some fame for saving the life of a Lord Holder's son after the teen took a bad fall from a horse.
726 AL & 35 Turns: He continues training, and in recent turns has specialized in trauma and first aid medicines.
727 AL & 36 Turns: More permanently returns to the Healer Hall after constantly moving between Hall and the minor holds he was posted at for turns. The master healers decide to have him teach some of the lower level Healing classes to apprentices, and Verec is surprised to find he's good at it and even enjoys it.
729 AL & 38 Turns: Is officially asked to remain at the Healer Hall and removed from the active roster of travelling Healers. He remains on call for emergencies.
730 AL & 39 Turns: Verec starts teaching more specialized and advanced classes, working more with Journeymen than Apprentices, though he still teaches some introductory level classes.
732 AL & 41 Turns: Obtains mastership.
736 AL & 45 Turns: Appointed Masterhealer. Reasons for his appointment include competence, how much he cares for and prioritizes Healers and their craft, and the regard Lord Holders have for him, maintained after saving the one Lord Holder's son in 724.
738 AL & 47 Turns: His daughter Vaera expresses an interest in becoming a Healer, which Verec supports, though he makes sure she knows how difficult it will be for her and how hard she will have to work. He can't show her any favoritism, after all.

Additional Information:
Verec was an intensely dedicated student and spent almost all of his time trying to be a better Healer and learn as much as possible. He spent part of his apprenticeship doing inventory in the storage rooms, which did not make him hate the place, but instead made it a safe place for him, and started his interest in herbs.
